Kenmore 79568033215 top-mount refrigerator Parts

Your Kenmore refrigerator’s model number is printed on a rating label inside the cabinet. On Kenmore top-mount refrigerators like model 79568033215, the label is most often on an inside wall of the fresh food section or freezer, sometimes behind the crisper drawers or near the lower kickplate area. Use the exact model number to match the correct parts and diagrams.

Where to look for the model number label

Check these common spots in this order:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on a side wall (eye level)
• Inside the freezer compartment on a side wall or back wall
• On the frame just inside the door opening (hinge side)
• Behind or beside the lower crisper drawers (on the liner wall)
• Near the bottom front area, sometimes visible after removing the toe grille or looking behind the kickplate

What to write down (so parts match correctly)

Record the information exactly as shown on the label:

• Model number (example format: 79568033215)
• Serial number (helps with production variations)
• Any revision or suffix characters (if shown)

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers determine the correct part fit, wiring layout, and door hardware. For example, door alignment and sealing issues can depend on the exact hinge and gasket design used on your model.

For Kenmore model 79568033215, the most accurate way to confirm cubic-foot capacity is to use the model’s specification information in the 79568033215 owner's manual or the refrigerator’s rating label inside the fresh-food section. Capacity is a fixed spec for the model, but it is not reliably “decoded” from the model number.

Fast ways to find the cubic feet for model 79568033215

• Check the rating label (usually on a side wall inside the refrigerator compartment); it often lists capacity or key specs.
• Look up the specifications section in the 79568033215 owner's manual.
• If the label is missing or unreadable, use the model number 79568033215 to search parts and documentation on Sears PartsDirect.
• If you are measuring for fit (not true capacity), measure the cabinet opening and compare to typical top-mount sizes.

What “cubic feet” means (and what it does not)

Cubic feet is the interior storage volume of the refrigerator (fresh food plus freezer). It is not the same as exterior dimensions, shelf count, or how much usable space you have after bins, the ice maker, and air channels.

Typical top-mount refrigerator capacity ranges

Refrigerator type	Typical total capacity range
Compact top-mount	10 to 14 cu. ft.
Standard top-mount	14 to 21 cu. ft.
Large top-mount	21 to 24 cu. ft.

Why it matters

Knowing the correct cubic-foot capacity helps when you are comparing replacement units, planning food storage, or choosing accessories. It also prevents ordering “universal” storage parts that do not match your door and shelf layout.

To level your Kenmore 79568033215 top-mount refrigerator, we raise or lower the front leveling legs until the cabinet is stable and the doors close on their own. Set the front slightly higher than the rear to reduce vibration and improve door sealing (use the steps in the 79568033215 owner's manual).

Quick leveling steps

• Unplug the refrigerator or switch off power at the breaker for safety.
• Pull the unit forward enough to access the front leveling legs.
• Turn the leveling legs to adjust height (typically clockwise raises, counterclockwise lowers).
• Aim for a slight backward tilt: the front should sit a little higher than the rear.
• Check side-to-side level so the cabinet does not rock.
• Recheck door swing and closing; fine-tune as needed.

What “level” should look like

Check	What you want	What it prevents
Front-to-back	Front slightly higher than rear	Doors popping open, warm air leaks
Side-to-side	No rocking, even stance	Vibration, noise, uneven gasket contact
Door closing	Doors close smoothly without slamming	Frost, temperature swings

If the doors still do not close right

• Confirm the floor is solid; soft vinyl or uneven tile can cause rocking.
• Make sure the refrigerator is not twisted; adjust one leg at a time.
• Inspect door alignment and hinge wear; a worn bushing can let the door sag.
• If you see play at the hinge, replacing the refrigerator door hinge bushing 4984JJ3003A often restores proper alignment.

Why it matters

A properly leveled refrigerator runs quieter, seals better at the door gasket, and maintains steadier temperatures. That helps reduce frost buildup, protects food, and can prevent premature wear on hinges and shelves.

On Kenmore model 79568033215 (top-mount refrigerator), the main temperature controls are typically located inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment near the top, often on the ceiling area or the upper side wall. For the exact placement and panel layout for your unit, use the 79568033215 owner's manual.

Common control panel locations on top-mount refrigerators

On this style of Kenmore refrigerator, you will usually find controls in one of these spots:

• Inside the refrigerator section at the top front (near the light housing)
• Inside the refrigerator section on the upper right or left side wall
• Behind a small plastic cover or trim panel near the top of the refrigerator section
• Less commonly, inside the freezer section near the front

If you mean the electronic control board (not the user controls)

Some customers say “control panel” when they mean the electronic control board. That board is not meant for daily adjustments and is commonly behind an interior cover that’s held by screws.

Before removing any cover:

• Unplug the refrigerator (or switch off the breaker)
• Empty and protect food if doors will be open for a while
• Use the correct screwdriver (often Phillips)
• Take a photo of wire connectors before disconnecting anything
• Reinstall covers and screws exactly as found

Quick check: which “control panel” are you looking for?

What you want to do	You are looking for	Typical location
Change fridge/freezer temperature	Temperature control panel	Inside refrigerator section near the top
Diagnose “no cool” or erratic temps	Electronic control board	Behind an interior cover/panel
Fix door not closing or door sag	Hinge/door hardware	Top hinge area and door frame

Why it matters

Finding the right panel prevents unnecessary disassembly and helps you troubleshoot faster. If the issue is temperature-related, checking the control settings first can save time before testing parts like the evaporator fan motor or air damper.

If you need replacement parts for your 79568033215, you can order from the parts list for this model or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
